I'm still rocking my iPhone 3G.

I know, I'm an embarassment to tech bloggers everywhere, but it does most everything I want it to do.

I do want the iPhone 4, but the supply crunch has left me out in the cold.  Good things, however, come to those who wait and that might be an iPhone 5 sooner than anticipated.
